God says harming a fetus should be punished by a fine determined by a judge and killing a woman should be punished by death. But Jesus says we should not punish either. Who is right?
This is from the King James Version
Old Testament God
Exodus 22:22-24
If men strive and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her…punished according to her husband and pay a fine as a judge determines.
If he kills the woman, then life for life eye for eye, tooth for tooth
New Testament Jesus
Mathew 5:38-39
Ye have heard it said, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth.” But I say unto you that yet resist not evil (the evil of non-forgiveness, judgment and revenge): but who so ever shall smite the on the right cheek turn to him the other also. (don't seek revenge against those who harm you)
